LONDON, Nov. 1.-The failure of the
prosecution of Policeman EndicOtt for
traducing the character of Miss Cass, is
a subject of regretful comment among
citizens generally and in the press.
The Pail Mall Gazette, which took a
leading part in the crusade against the
police methods, illustrated by the CasS
arrest, is especially bitter against Judge
Stephen, who deemed the evidence
against Endicott insufficient to hold him
on. The Gazette says that it may now
be accepted as English law that there is
no redress for any.person accused by
policeman according to Judge Stephen.
Remarks the editor: ''If the vileSt man
on the force were to swear that the
Princess of Wales was soliciting, he
could not be held for perjury unless the
princess produced witnesses to sustain
her denial. The ordinary rule of law that
the burden of proof is on the accuSer is
set at naught. but the responsible Off
cials of the police department are. saved
from danger of decapitatiOn, and this
boon doubtless OutweighS one wOman'S
reputation" Endicott will. as the re-
suit of the decision. be restored to his
position and receive his back pay in
full. The outcome of the case has been
unfortunate for Miss Cass in all re-
spects. Though it is conceded that there
was no proof of anything improper in
her conduct Oh the evening of her ar
rest, when she was carrying bundle
for delivery for her employers, yet the
great resources of the police department
have been used in
TRACING HER HISTORX
during her whole life, and the result
has been the discovery of some pecca-
dillOes which have been magnified as
much as possible in order to discredit
her before the public. 1t was
shown that she was frivolous and indiS-
cfet in her conduct before coming to
London, though nothing worse than
Irritation was proven. The police also,
without any proof to that effect, in
simulated that her sudden marriage after
the proceedings began was arranged III
order to Offset medical evidence as to
her chastity. 1t is argued. however, by
those interested in criticising the action
of the police that this line of attack was
an evasion of the real issue and could
have no bearing on the right of an
officer to make arbitrary arrests of
women against. whom no evidence
could be produced of improper conduct
at the time of the arrest. The police
certainly have no cause to congratulate
themselves on the result of the whole
affair, however much Miss Cass may
have been damaged by it.
OUR ADvICES FROM PARIS
tonight show the rumor of NJ. Wadding-
toms resignation Is unfOunded, and that
the minister will return to his duties III
London tomorrow.
The Emperor Williams continued i'll
ness causes great anxiety throughout
Germany. The fact that the aged mon
arch does not throw off the effects of his
cold so readily as on former occasions
leads to apprehensiOns that his vitality
is becoming seriously impaired. The
crown prince holds himself prepared to
return to Berlin from the South at
moments notice. His throat is said to
be improving, and there is no doubt that
his voice is at least stronger than for
some time back. There is not any great
belief in his complete recovery, not
withstanding occasional temporary i'm
prOvement.
The quiescence of the unemployed
during the past week Or so must not be
taken as an Indication of the complete
of those bugbears of the
police. 1t is said that they are only
resting on their laurels and quietly
for new efforts. Many fear
that the lawless element will choose
lord mayors day as the occasion of a
serious demonstration. At any rate,
there is general impression that the
proletariat will show themselves in the
near future in less grOtesque and more
serious ways than hitherto.
